Olympic medalist in figure skating Alexandra Ignatova (Trusova), if she wants, can get back in shape, but it will not be easy to compete with other athletes, says Olympic champion Natalya Bestemyanova.
Ignatova (née Trusova) performed short and free programs at the Russian national team skating in St. Petersburg. Ignatova last competed in tournaments in 2022 and missed the 2023/24 season altogether. In the summer of 2024, the athlete married figure skater Makar Ignatov and announced that she had taken his last name.
“It is difficult to say what decision she will make. It will be difficult to fight against young girls who have not missed a match for two years. It is clear that she is not in the condition we would like her to be in. She was looking for a quadruple lutz, she fell, but it was a good attempt – she twisted a luxurious lutz. Everything will depend on her desires. If he wants, he can get back in shape. But when a person has both titles and great love from the audience, it is very difficult to motivate himself,” Bestemyanova told .
